Ingredients
Scale
Toast
- 2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread
Egg and Avocado Mixture
- 2 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or green onions
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the sourdough or whole grain bread slices until they are golden and crisp. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the eggs: Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the hard-boiled eggs directly into a mixing bowl to create a fluffy texture.
- Mash the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the grated eggs. Gently mash the mixture together with a fork until creamy but retaining some texture.
- Season the mixture: Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth, flavorful spread.
- Assemble the toast: Evenly spread the egg and avocado mixture over the toasted bread slices for a rich and creamy topping.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle finely chopped chives or green onions and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For an extra protein boost, incorporate a spoonful of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt into the egg and avocado mixture.
- This avocado and egg toast is best enjoyed immediately but the mixture can be prepared up to one hour in advance. Add extra lemon juice to prevent browning if preparing ahead.
